Lyrics

Private Life (Long Version)

Je n'ai marre with your theatrics,
Your acting's a drag,
It's ok on TV, but you can turn it off,

Your marriage is a tragedy,
But it's not my concern,
I'm very superficial I hate everything official,
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,(x2)

Your sentimental gestures only bore me to death,
You've made a desperate appeal, now save your breath,
Attachment to obligation, through guilt and regret, shit that's so wet
And your sex life complications are not my fascinations,
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,(x2) Oh!

You asked my advice I say use the door,
But you're still clinging to somebody you deplore,
And now you wanna use me for emotional blackmail,
I just feel pity when you lie, contempt when you cry,

Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,(x2) Oh!
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,(x8)
